APC will Rule Nigeria for a minimum of 20 Years regardless of their performance! Just pray they perform instead of running around blogs preaching hate for Buhari! Inugo?

hayoakins:
I am PRO-Buhari but he is indeed falling short of expectations. I may not be in sync with the entire article but the excerpt below is sure right.

"Buhari should be reminded that a forward-looking leader like
David Cameron of the United Kingdom announced his cabinet with 48
hours of emerging victorious."

Baba, please wake up, you are yet to alter a word and some agencies are beginning to use their sense/brain already e.g NYSC, EFCC including the DISCOs. Please man up and act ASAP.

Don't let those I compelled to give you a chance stone me.

I didn't regret voting for you in 2011, help me not to regret it this time. I know you can deliver the change we crave for.

#SAI BABA

ECOTERRORS:
a leopard can't change its spots, you ve been known to have bile rising in your stomach anytime you visit politics section.

APC is the govt in power so give us sound reasons why Buhari is not failing now and what impact have we seen or we are about to see there.

MizMyColi:


Lols.
We might not need to trouble ourselves much as the fight is likely going to be fought among themselves.
The deafening silence that has greeted the nation is a pointer.

We expected them to hit the ground running.
We expected roadmaps, blue prints, action steps even before they were sworn in...
But we currently on Auti-pilot.


I foresee it becoming a case of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend "

What we want is a Nigeria that works...
Right now, Nigeria is not working...

NgeneUkwenu:
lalasticlala, why are you so mischievous? Why did you change the Original Title of the article to suit your whimsical project? The title says: "I thought Buhari Will hit the ground running" and the Op devilishly changed it to "Buhari is failing already" and you pretended as if you you didn't notice it! Tufiakwa!

philips70:
What you guys destroyed for 16 bladdy years will not be fixed in one week. If you are impatient you can relocate to Sambissa so Shekau can preside over you with military dispatch. These idiots forgot a handover book was given to this man just a night before swearing in. GEJ and co were in a hurry to fail and they failed woefully. Yar'Adua was called a baba go slow yet he achieved something meaningful in his short time before our Nobel candidate came to destroy everything.

Buhari will fix your dead car in his own terms and you can only wait till 2019 to vent your anger and frustrations. 13m+ Nigerians said so!

Chubhie:

This is strategic and the intent pure. We all crave for a Nigeria that works regardless on which divide we echo such intentions.

Do have the best of the rest of your day Milady.

Thanksss
You too

@Emboldened
...and proudly so.

You call them doomsayer, I call them realists, forerunners.

Has it occurred to you that the meal these folks you talk about are currently serving this administration could actually be a repertoire of the " What goes around, comes around" parlance?

When you talk about this supposed PDP that the nation is tired of, I'm bemused.

It feels like you're saying, the nation was tired of corruption under letters P, D and P and decided to try it out under letter A, P and C.

Because last I checked, the ACN and CPC were mere regional parties until the crack heads and corruption personified bottlenecks in the PDP threw their weight behind them.

You now see why I maintain that APC is an evil party?

Tell me, look at everyone that ran away from PDP, who or what were they running from? Perchance that Umbrella no longer served their purposes? Because as far as I know...they are/were the pillars of the party.

Why are we Nigerians so quick to forget, why are we easily swayed?

The same person we saw no good in, in the year 2011 has suddenly become the best thing since ice cream in 2015?

The writer said Atiku was better prepared and he gave facts to buttress his point, or are you averse to the truth also?

Well, we look forward to building a party based on resilience and true democratic tenets...especially now that the corruption togas have jumped ship

Say it with me

It is Well With Our Nation!!!

The cabal controlling Nigeria has already ringed him. He could not appoint a Secretary to the Federal Government, seven days after his inauguration. He could not even appoint a Chief of Staff. He is struggling with his list of ministers. So many interest groups within his ruling All Progressives Congress are holding him by the jugular. Ogbonnaya Onu and Rotimi Amaechi are battling for the position of SGF. Buhari should be reminded that a forward-looking leader like David Cameron of the United Kingdom announced his cabinet with 48 hours of emerging victorious.

God bless u ma for this post.

disumusa:
this is the voice of coward ibo and not any yemi adebowala, yoruba are train to insult a respectfull elder like buhari.

tucky200:
U want him to begin like our former leaders who ended failing woefully..nope ,dis a new governmen and its not business as usual

CSTR2:
APC will rule Nigeria for 20 years regardeless of performance?
GTFOH!!
Even lai muhammad can never be as high as you are right now.
PDP a much stronger and cohesive party than the APC would ever be did not even have that kind of priviledge even when Nigerians were not as politically aware as they are now.
All it takes is for buhari to perform below expectations and PDP produce a credible northern candidate like nuhu ribadu in 2019 and the APC is toast.

The President has directed that the defence headquarters be moved to Maiduguri. There is clearly no sense in this. Buhari simply wants to jeopadise the Command and Control Centre. The United States did not move the Pentagon to the Gulf region during the Gulf war. Yet, they decapitated Iraqi forces. United Kingdom did not move its defence headquarters to the Falkland during the war with Argentina over the Falkland. Buhari’s directive is an archaic military strategy. This is obviously unnecessary in modern warfare. Obviously, our dear President has no blueprint for tackling the Boko Haram problem. All he did during the election was to excoriate Goodluck Jonathan’s security failure. He had no plans of his own.


dumb analysis, you didn't tell us how Usa and Britain did when faced with domestic terrorism , your example only touched on foreign wars.........smh, if you were pmb im sure you will perform worse no wonder you are a supporter of the clueless one

MizMyColi:




That said, despite my all time scepticism of the change chants and movement, I haven't categorically joined the "DoomSayers" yet

If I ever do, then know that Nigeria, under this administration is beyond redemption

SenseiX:
It seems President Muhammadu Buhari doesn’t know that elections are over and it is time to start actualizing his promises. The first few days of a new President in office matter a great deal. Acting authoritatively within 24 hours of being sworn will send the right signal to all that he is ready to implement change. Buhari has already failed in this regard. He is supposed to hit the ground running considering the mirage of problems facing this nation. The new President simply hit the ground and sat down there. The cabal controlling Nigeria has already ringed him. He could not appoint a Secretary to the Federal Government, seven days after his inauguration. He could not even appoint a Chief of Staff. He is struggling with his list of ministers. So many interest groups within his ruling All Progressives Congress are holding him by the jugular. Ogbonnaya Onu and Rotimi Amaechi are battling for the position of SGF. Buhari should be reminded that a forward-looking leader like David Cameron of the United Kingdom announced his cabinet with 48 hours of emerging victorious.


Our dear Buhari could not even appoint a spokesman. He ended up appointing spokesmen. I have never heard of this in any sane society. He has Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu appointed as spokesmen just to satisfy diverse interest groups. Ever heard of leaders like Barack Obama or David Cameron operating with spokesmen? This is an agenda for chaos in the media management area.

I can’t understand why Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Barde and Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah are still in office. If we are talking about change and wiping out Boko Haram, the men in charge of the war’s Command and Control ought not to be in office by this time. Buhari obviously has no blueprint on how to handle Boko Haram. These bastards have killed over 300 people in the last seven days. The President has directed that the defence headquarters be moved to Maiduguri. There is clearly no sense in this. Buhari simply wants to jeopadise the Command and Control Centre. The United States did not move the Pentagon to the Gulf region during the Gulf war. Yet, they decapitated Iraqi forces. United Kingdom did not move its defence headquarters to the Falkland during the war with Argentina over the Falkland. Buhari’s directive is an archaic military strategy. This is obviously unnecessary in modern warfare. Obviously, our dear President has no blueprint for tackling the Boko Haram problem. All he did during the election was to excoriate Goodluck Jonathan’s security failure. He had no plans of his own.

The next thing the President did was to dash to Niger and Chad to talk to their leaders about curtailing Boko Haram. Yes, this would help in shortening trans-border terrorism. But how will this stop ongoing suicide bombings inside Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states by the blood-thirsty Boko Haram? The suicide bombers are obviously not crossing into the country from the neighbouring countries. They are within the country, manufacturing and using Improvised Explosive Devices. They are using petrol and gas cylinders, all obtained within the country, for suicide bombings. Intelligence gathering and technology are key to detecting and curtailing the deadly activities of these suicide bombers. We need to put our internal security in order before running to Chad and Niger republics.

I am also surprised that heads of failed government departments and agencies that have done collateral damages to this country are still in office eight days after Buhari’s inauguration. How can the leadership of the Customs and Excise still be in office by this time? Why should the leadership of the NNPC and the NERC still be in office? The leadership of the FIRS is still in office, yet we are talking about change. Change in this direction should come within 24 hours. We are still waiting for our dear President to act.
[b]Buhari response to the power crisis in his inauguration speech was also appalling. How can the President say that, “careful studies are under way during this transition to identify the quickest, safest and most cost-effective way to bring light and relief to Nigerians.” So, the President did not do a thorough study of the power crisis and the way forward before campaigning to take over from Jonathan? So, the President has no blueprint on how to tackle the power crisis? So, Buhari is just about assembling a team to decide on what to do? That should have been in his bag already. It is part of what is called hitting the ground running in governance. I hope we have not entered a one chance bus? I guess that was why Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo sent him his own blueprint on the power crisis. My humble suggestion is for Buhari to quickly go after Atiku Abubakar and collect his comprehensive blueprint on how to tackle crisis in virtually all the sectors of our economy. A better-prepared Atiku commissioned a very reliable team to do this during his campaign for Presidency. But the APC painfully denied him their Presidential ticket. It is a pity that a well-prepared Atiku may never become the President of this country because we always celebrate mediocrity. [/b]

Buhari has also left many bemused by his refusal to make public his asset declaration. Garba Shehu said, “President Muhammadu Buhari has declared his assets to the Code of Conduct Bureau as required by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If anyone is interested in knowing details of his asset worth, such a person can avail himself or herself of the use of Freedom of Information Act to seek the information from the bureau.” What an insult. One of Buhari’s key campaign promises was public declaration of assets and liabilities. How can he now do this to Nigerians? Late President Umaru Yar’Adua made public his asset declaration after submitting to the Code of Conduct Bureau. Clearly, Buhari has something to hide. The National Secretary of the Labour Party, Kayode Ajulo was right when he accused the President of failing to keep  the covenant he had with Nigerians to publish his assets publicly. Ajulo said: “The promise on the declaration of assets made to Nigerians was to woo voters. Now, the voters have fulfilled their part of the agreement. It is left for Buhari to fulfill the other part, failure of which is a clear violation of the social contract he had with millions of Nigerians.”

Now, the President has approval for 15 Special Advisers. What does he want to do with all these men? These Special Advisers will also have a retinue of special assistants. They will also need to maintain offices and vehicles. So, where is the belt tightening which our President promised in this scenario? On removal of fuel subsidy, Buhari is still shivering, eight days after inauguration. May Allah help Nigeria.

Being a TANOID is now synonymous to being hopeless? @first bolded, you need to ask yourself how important you really are in the grand scheme of things cos your being a doomsayer will not affect the hair on anyone's head, while at it, please remember that Nigeria is not the romance section of NL.
@second bolded, how can a sane person even think about this? That your country is beyound redemption? What are you? So, if Jonathan's administration is reinstalled then the country will go back to being the paradise it used to be under Jonathan's administration?
Pls, we understand that Nairaland helps to boost ego for some of you but take it easy with all your negativity and bitterness due to GEJs loss, cos whatever happens in Nigeria happens to each and everyone of us.
